SPICY HOME FRIES
Steps:
- Place the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water and add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes fall apart when a fork is inserted, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain well.
- Heat the butter over medium heat in a large saute pan. Add the onion and jalapeno and cook until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the ancho chile powder and stir until combined. Add the potatoes, salt and pepper and toss the mixture, slightly mashing the potatoes with a metal spatula. Press the potato mixture into one even layer and cook until golden brown on the bottom. Turn over and gently mash again into an even layer and cook until the bottom is golden brown. Stir in the cilantro and lime zest and transfer to a bowl.
SUNNY'S EASY BACON, PEPPERS AND CHEESE HOME FRIES
Steps:
- Leave the potatoes in the bag and cook them in the microwave for 2 minutes less than the package instructions so they aren't too soft (they will cook in the pan, plus, you'll need to break them down further). Remove from the bag and let cool until cool enough to handle, then cut the larger potatoes into sixths and the smaller ones into fourths.
- In a mid-sized pan on the stovetop or on a grill on medium heat, add the bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan with a slotted spoon, leaving the bacon fat in the pan. Roughly chop the bacon and set aside. Add the butter to the bacon fat. Once it has melted, add the potatoes in one layer if possible. (If not, do the potatoes in batches.) Cook the potatoes on one side until a peek beneath reveals a golden crust, 10 to 15 minutes, then toss and repeat. Do this a few times; if doing in batches, you can pile the cooked potatoes on the side of the pan while the new ones get attention. Once the potatoes are almost done, push them all to the sides of the pan.
- To the center of the pan add the peppers, onions, steak seasoning, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook the veggies, stirring, until the peppers and onions are tender but still have some crunch, about 5 minutes. Add the bacon back to the pan and toss everything together. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the scallions.
Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for spinach and peppers, but you can use any vegetables you like. Some other good options include onions, mushrooms, zucchini, and tomatoes.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the potatoes will steam instead of fry and they won't get crispy.
- Cook the potatoes over medium-high heat. This will help them get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Season the potatoes generously. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
- Add the cheese and spinach at the end. This will help prevent the cheese from burning and the spinach from wilting.
- Serve the potatoes immediately. They're best when they're hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Cheesy home fries with spinach and peppers are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a hearty and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
